What is the future of Android Development?

Hi folks, so currentky I work as a native android developer earning around 24LPA base with 1.6 YoE and graduated from tier 1. Wanted to know the future of native android development and if my current salary is low/market competent or high given my YoE and undergrad college. Thanka fam!

I'm a 2024 grad and everytime I open LinkedIn, I see job roles for MERN developers mostly. For the past 2-3 years I've been developing Android apps and now I find no jobs in the domain of Android. Should I change my domain and move to ML? Or should I stay in Android Development itself? Aren't companies hiring Native Android Developers? 😔

I have been working on Android development for 5+ years now. Mostly native Android. Is it possible at my level to find new jobs in other technology (backend or Frontend web). My current organisation doesn't have an option to do so. So I will need to switch companies. How should I go about it?

What do u think the career trajectory will be for Native Mobile developers after 4-5 Years of experience? ( Android/Ios) Personally I think there are less senior/staff roles in india unless we pivot to BE or people roles we will not have an uptrend in our career. And what do u think about Hybrid frameworks ( like RN and Flutter) ? should we adopt them ASAP ? or not required to grow in the career ladder ? ( Please add YOE while answering It helps to see how early devs vs Exp devs think )

21M in my final year, I have been doing frontend development for the past 2 years mostly into making hybrid apps. Currently working for a remote US startup which is paying more base than faang CTC. I am confused about what should I learn next. Two options which I have are Native app development i.e IOS and Android or backend development i.e full stack developer. What are your thoughts about the upcoming market trends?

I have experience with Android Dev for around 1.5 yrs, then recently worked on backend for around 6 months. An opportunity for building an iOS app is also knocking at the door. I want to explore these options given that I graduated in 2020, I feel I am still in my early career. Will these doman switch hurt when I am back in Job market. As in not having enough vertical experience in one domain and spreading myself too thin. Suggestions will be appreciated!

Hi Grapevine, I'm Arnav, Director of Engg at Jio Cinema. I previously exited my startup to Scaler. Some of you may know me from ScalerPod. I've also led engineering teams at Zomato & Target.

Ask me anything except my company name, or things that can reveal my identity. I may respectfully choose not to respond to your question based on my own judgement. Here’s a brief intro about me: I’ve worked as both software engineering manager & software technical architect over the last 18+ years on various tech stacks managing backend, frontend and a little bit of cloud. I have seen ups and downs in the software industry. Currently I’m working as a senior architect in one of the product based companies in India.
